like thta says, I think sweden self regulated and stayed in place voluntarily, they're smart people.

They did have some ugly outbreaks in a few nursing homes, but so did the US despite the ultra-draconian measures. Most of the people dying world-wide are over 80 with underlying medical conditions... maybe Mother Nature didn't intend for people to live so long and dying in a few days of COVID is more merciful than living a life devoid of quality?

yeah hard to have a lockdown in a nurding home. that is where people are close together, as opposed to being in your own home with minimum contact with others

people could live longer than 80 but yeah probably old age like that is a thing of the past now with this corona. But also people being 50, 60 and 70 which sucks. And many people have herpes which is a reason for dying young from corona. It attacks immune system and some estimates say 80% of americans have it.

That is really interesting about the herpes connection. I also heard that people infected with herpes are more prone to migraines. The reason you can't keep it from nursing homes even with crazy draconian measures is because all these old, sick people have many essential doctor appointments. It is the only thing my dad's Assisted Living Facility would let anyone out of their rooms for once the lockdown started in mid-March. The doctors/nurses/office staff are the ones most exposed and the ones spreading it around the most... the doctor/nurse HAS to get very close to you to take your blood pressure, listen to your lungs, and all the other standard things done in order to properly check you out. My dad's girlfriend got it from the one and only time she went to the doctor. :( She recovered, though, and she is 83.

I also think way more people than suspected have Lyme disease. Everyone gets bit by ticks at some point in their life. But not everyone gets symptoms that they notice or realizes it. Immune system has to work harder but can manage. Add a new virus to that tho, and it is too much. Many other viruses that haven't even been discovered yet. People's bodies are full of shit without knowing it. Add a new corona to it all and it is a tipping point.

If you haven't heard this interview with Kris Newby, who wrote a book about Lyme disease, it is well worth your time: https://www.peterbcollins.com/2019/08/06/in-depth-interview-author-kris-newby-and-prof-mark-crispin-miller-talk-about-chronic-lyme-disease-and-its-likely-origins/

I found it here on Saidit a few weeks ago. VERY interesting. Her research indicates it is probably a bio-weapon that escaped, and some organization patented the disease, so now there is a medical cover-up because no one in the medical community wants to pay the patent fees. Doctors lose their licenses for diagnosing Lyme, even when there is no doubt whatsoever that it is Lyme. It really brings to light how broken our society is when doctors are bullied into not properly treating patients to save a few bucks. And how a disease can even be patented in the first place.

Haven't heard that interview but yeah i KNEW IT WAS A Bio weapon, sorry for caps. There is definitely a coverup going with it, very odd to refuse to aknowledge an obvious thing. It is similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, now that is not man made, it was around in the 1800s and before, and is not denied to exist like lyme.
